Went to Bureau on the advice of some of our close friends, and the experience was exceptional! We’re long-time neighbors and forever Austinites, so we’ve been through the gamut of establishments that have come and gone over the years. There’s something so unique and special about this restaurant – not just in terms of their take on modern French cuisine, but something much more subtle and warm.

The space is friendly and bright, yet somehow deeply romantic as it is set purposely within a quaint and lively bodega that sells both local and international goods. This alone isn’t the sole driver of what stands out. For that detail you must come in and experience it yourself to truly appreciate. It’s the soul that goes into each dish and the delivery. It’s the people behind it all.

What made our meal amazing was Chef Pierce’s dedication to his craft. All of our courses were incredible because of how well planned each ingredient and their preparation were executed. Ralph brought his knowledge of wine with a smile, and Elliot mastered dessert for us. Of course it all takes a great server to deliver and Finneas made us feel like family.

To Bureau – thank you for treating us so well!

To everyone else, please give this place a try.

The duck confit with venison sausage was very tasty. The fish was very under seasoned and a bit overcooked too. And the service left a lot to be desired (took 5 minutes to get some salt, no spoon for the mignonette, and we had to ask for silverware for our dessert). The strawberry tart with thyme was very yummy though!

Love the dog friendly patio!

Switched back to being more plant based with my eating and has the avo toast with sprouts. Delicious!

When I asked my server if there were any GF and PB options for dessert, he had the kitchen make me one—on the house! It was toasted sourdough with fresh berries and a drizzle of raspberry syrup. Delicious!

Prior to adopting a plant based diet again, I would order the Croque Madame or the Eggs Benny. You can’t go wrong with either!

Food and service was amazing! Went for a work dinner and had a great time. There’s something on the menu for everyone! Highly recommend the half roasted chicken or the duck leg cassoulet!
PS- the chocolate mousse is outstanding!!!

Went here last minute for dinner with my partner and my sister.

the hostess greeted us with “you obviously don’t have a reservation!” which felt really rude. mind you there were three or four empty tables in the restaurant when we arrived. the bathroom was dirty and had no paper towels. the person who served us was so rude and dismissive. she was rude to my sister for no reason. they were closing down the restaurant two hours before their listed close time on google maps.

it just felt like we were inconveniencing them by wanting to eat there! the food was also not worth the price tag. it was good but not worth the price we paid.

and then!!! i called the restaurant a couple days later to speak to the manager, left a message and he never called me back!!!!!

you couldn’t pay me to eat here again.

Cute little bistro vibe that takes up about half the building space of this Tiny Grocer in Hyde Park. I got the burger, my friend got the egg white omelet. They were great about substitutions. Food came out fresh and hot with high-quality ingredients.
My only struggle here was a beverage of choice – the teas were all bagged, and none of the juices were fresh squeezed or organic. They gave me the option to grab something from the grocery portion of the store, which was greatly appreciated.
Service was quick and kind.
Loved the bright airy-ness!

I found this place on Google and was intrigued. I can tell you, everything was top notch! Between my wife and I we had the French onion soup, beef tartare, halibut, duck leg and creme brulee. Every dish from start to finish was fabulous! I love a good creme brulee and theirs is fantastic. Just the right consistency, very creamy and a nice crust. Our server Stefy was amazing and super nice! We will be back!

from the moment we sat down, the staff made us feel like VIPs. Super attentive without hovering, perfectly timed courses, and they even surprised us with a couple of little complimentary amuse-bouches that set the tone for the whole evening.
The menu is one of those rare ones that genuinely has something for everybody—whether you’re a steak-and-potatoes person, a vegetarian, gluten-free, or just feeling adventurous. I went with the half roasted chicken (and wow, I’m still thinking about it). The skin was perfectly crisp and golden, the meat unbelievably juicy, and it came with this incredible herb butter and seasonal roasted veggies that were cooked to absolute perfection. A couple of my colleagues raved about the duck leg cassoulet—rich, hearty, melt-in-your-mouth tender with that classic smoky sausage and white bean combo. Even the pickier eaters at the table were blown away by their choices (the grilled salmon and the mushroom risotto both got multiple thumbs-up).

We had a good evening in a nice calming space seated outside. All of the food was absolutely delicious… once we all got it. When meals arrived, 2 meals were brought for the 3 of us. We assumed the third was on the way. Several minutes later the server came back and asked if we needed anything and we asked when the 3rd meal would come out. There was apparent surprise. It turned out that one of our meals had been used for another table. By the time the 3rd meal came, we were asking for boxes for the other two. Most restaurants in this situation would have comped the meal, but that did not happen here. I’m giving the high marks for the quality of food (among us we had the onion soup and beef tartare for starters and the paillard chicken, the burger, and the moules frites [the missing meal]) and the outdoor space was nice. Just a note though to follow up if one of your meals does not come out.

Came in on a first cold night in Austin this fall and very much enjoyed their onion soup, endive salad and shared the steak frites. On Monday night they have a flank steak special as well, which is a smaller portion for a little less money – but regular steak frites with a ribeye was done beautifully. Perfect fries too!
The little store of specialty items has delicious things as well, nice to walk around and explore before or after dinner.
Can’t wait to be back! Steady stream of people even on a Monday night, so I suggest you make a reservation.
